Why do I need policies?
In the current work environment, organizations may face rising claims related to fraud, wrongful dismissal, harassment, privacy breach, etc. The first question lawyers, courts and tribunals will ask is, “Where are your policies and can you prove they have been read and understood by your employees?”
To minimize your liability and ensure due diligence, it is essential to have up to date workplace policies that meet compliance requirements and best practices.
Policies are not only important for compliance. They are a best practice for the efficient operation of your organization. For example:
- onboarding new employees
- consistent application of rules
- roadmap for the operation of the organization
- guidance for decision-making
- minimizes risk with robust internal controls
- and much more
